How can I purchase an already taken domain name?

Melissa T asked:

I want to purcahse a domain name but it is already in use. There is nothing on the website though. It re directs you to some other site so techinally, you can’t even pull up the domain I want to buy.

I saw who owns it but it seems like some large company. There is no specific name. They are based out of Arizona and when I put in their phone number, a ton of different things came up. Same with the address.

I found out it will expire in Jan 2009. How can I go about getting it? I’m just confused because it seems like it’s just not an individual owning it.
They have a private registration under.. www.domainsbyproxy.com
The website it brings you to also has nothing on it and it hasn’t been updated since 07 as well as the one I am interested in buying.

Apache Virtual Servers?

carl w asked:

i have two websites that im trying to set up on the same apache server. the main site always displays on both sites, instead of the two different sites showing on their respective domains. how do i fix this? this is my httpd file:

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See for detailed information.
# In particular, see
#
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They’re here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server’s control files begin with “/” (or “drive:/” for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
# with “/”, the value of ServerRoot is prepended — so “logs/foo.log”
# with ServerRoot set to “C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2″ will be interpreted by the
# server as “C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/foo.log”.
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., “c:/apache” instead of “c:\apache”).
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located
# will be used by default. It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths to avoid confusion.

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server’s
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk. If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot “c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.11″

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

Help My Web Site Is Being Held Hostage?

Saturday 31 July 2010 @ 10:09 pm
expired domain names
so s asked:

A ‘friend” offered to give me her old domain that she had parked and also build me a website, all I had to do was pay a monthly hosting fee of $26.00. A few months later she mentioned that she had “forgotten” to transfer the domain & would do in in a few weeks when hers expired, that was one year ago.

A few months after the site went live, I discovered that she had linked my site to her Multilevel Marketing sites which I DO NOT want associated with our site. Now that I have called her on the carpet, she won’t return calls or e-mails. I have limited acces to my current site & she has managed to lock me out of most of it.

I now have registered my own domain name and would like to use the content from my exisitng site on the new one while I create a completely new site. Is there a way to copy the content into a Wysiwyg editor & then upload it to my host site?

Please be kind with your answers, I have spent enough time beating myself up already.

Thank You




How do I get my website domain back?

Wednesday 21 July 2010 @ 11:08 am
expired domain names
Bernie J asked:

Basically, I dropped the ball and my domain name expired. It appears a Japanese person or company quickly bought it up, because the entire website is in Japanese now.

Of course, I don’t speak Japanese.

I really want this domain back for my personal business. I would be willing to buy it, but I don’t want to spend a fortune. Besides, I think it’s a little sleazy to charge me a lot to buy back my own website.

What could or should I do? And is there any kind of internet laws set up to protect me if this gets ugly?

Tommy V asked:

Hey all,

I have neglected my web page for months and now it seems that my host (hostgator) has expired. i would rather not use them second time around, and would like to go to something more simple like go daddy. Now my main concern is that my domain name is still active, how would i transfer from my expired hostgator account to godaddy or doteasy?

thanks

I need a domain name, but it’s too similar to another one.help?

Wednesday 16 June 2010 @ 2:45 pm
expired domain names
Furry Pals asked:

I want to start a website that will have restaurant/recipe type of “stuff” on there…I will not be selling anything on there “right now.” Anyways…the domain name that I wanted was taken, but when I typed in in the URL, it said that the domain name had expired three days ago. But when I checked on godadddy, It wasn’t available at the moment. I wanted to take that name and add the word “online” to it…so it would be “Blah blah Online.com.” It said that the domain name wasn’t taken, so do you think it’s ok to use that domain name? Or no? I’m so lost, and I’m sure you are after reading this too. Thanks! :)




I need help editing this php for Webs.com I need to embed this ladder into my web page?

Richard asked:

1.2 changes by shr:
- file_get_contents() function has been replaced on the getIccupTeamPage() based on sockets
- omptimized performance: the old filters have been removed due to changes in the code on the server side
- added description of the full path to cache file and word ‘full’ has been replaced to ‘absolute’ for better understanding

ver 1.0->1.1 changes by b1te:
-added install steps instruction
-fixed “ICCup is not accessible” while cached file is
-fixed image tag parsing error, which lead to
‘height=… text near country and rank images
-changed user options configuration code
-added statistics column order option
-changed client-side html parsing code
-omptimized overall performance

installation:
1) edit CONFIG section of this file
2) save it to your web-server with the .php extension
-on some servers it may be .php3 , .php4 or .php5
3) add this code line into place where you want ICCup statistics to be displayed:
include_once(‘path’);
where path – is a path to this file on yours web-server
-important: this line must be inserted into some other php module,
not into the site template. except, if you have smarty templates in your
site`s engine then you can this code to it:
{php}include_once(‘path’);{/php}
4) enjoy :)

TA asked:

I got two domain names (both belong/point to same website – its a personal website, NOT a commercial website). Both names are currently hosted by Startlogic (hosting company). They gona exprie soon. I don’t want to see my domain name expire, nor I want see my site go off the web.

What/Where the best “DEAL” hosting firm on the net for RENEWAL of both of my domain names’ registeration, and hosting of website (for 5 years term). It has to be a reliable/good hosting company. Thank you.
Since my ‘mini’ website is just 3 pages in total (as I say it is personal…may enlarge it later), I just came across an offer by VERIO of $9.95/year inclusive of domain name registeration/hosting (for 3 page websites)! Five years = $50 only!! Isn’t this good deal on Verio OR not!

Domain name for a web designer/artist? Also, any suggestions for hosting?

Thursday 6 May 2010 @ 7:54 am
expired domain names
Lily asked:

I’ve got a website already, but I **** the name. I’m waiting for it to expire to get a new one, but I want a better name than before. (“Pandagami” *Gags*) I would be putting my web design, art (traditional, digital, pixel), and possibly some premade layouts for sites I use on there. I know it’s common for web designers to put their names as the domain, but I don’t think I want to do that. Any suggestions would be great! If you need any more info that might help you think of one, just say so.

Okay, the second thing I need is a host. Currently I’m using DotEasy, but I’m wondering if there’s any better ones. I should just need the basics for now, though I wouldn’t mind the ability to upgrade for more features. I would like a blog, a reasonable amount of web space, a reasonable amount of bandwith, at least one email account (type doesn’t matter), reliability, and possibly at least one or more sub-domain. Things like automatic form and gallery makers or other automatic things don’t matter to me at all. Thanks for any help!

Also, the name is much more important to me than the hosting, as I can do more research on it the hosting on my own.
